Wal-mart is the cheapest option, but you'll have to hunt harder to find what you're looking for.

So they're basically going back to what they were back in the day. Specialty stores.

EDIT - this is not specifically about TRU prices, which do seem higher than necessary. They have a history of overcharging and having to roll back prices.

TRU definitely has history with outrageous markups. I remember when they were selling the Black Series General Grievous for close to $80. Nuts.

Yeah that price was ridiculous and is the reason why I never got one. TRU was the only place with it in stock and for $80 there was no way I was buying it. I wonder if anyone actually bought one for that price.
